Do you put toilet paper in the garbage or toilet?

[Wyndru]

Toilet paper -> toliet.

Tissues -> garbage can

I put it in the trash because i want my entire house to smell like shit.

Seriously, WTF? I have a septic system and I've never heard that toilet paper can't be put in the toilet because it damages the fragile septic system which is only strong enough to absorb nasty piles of shit. And frankly, I don't care if that's true because I'd rather not have garbage cans filled with shit paper in all my bathrooms.

I think you're supposed to put some chemical in the septic tank to help break down toilet paper. I don't know about houses, but that's how it's done in RVs.

You just buy toilet paper that says "septic safe" on the side of it. I can't think of one that doesn't say that, but there probably are some out there. But there's also Rid-X that helps break down the solids in a septic tank. There are others too, but Rid-X is probably the most well-known one (you've probably seen their commercials).

Alrighty so now you have shit in the garbage cans outside your house. Now your entire lot smells like shit.

HOAs must love this

 

[RearAdmiral]

Sucks to be those people. Our toilets in the office fire so hard I swear the poo goes to China.

 

[BabaBooey]

the paper is folded up on itself its not ask smelly as you would think. I've traveled to south america where this is done its a non issue.

No paper. Cup & water.

there is a basket full of poop in your house.

If you're putting shit-used toilet paper in the trashcan to save your plumbing, why even bother taking a shit in the toilet either? Just take a big shit in a trashcan and then dump the bag on the curb.

Disgusting primitives.

Growing up I always used sewer instead of septic. However, a large majority of the septic houses I did visit had a "binning" rule for used TP. Who knows why? Maybe different septic system, diff toilet paper, maybe one septic was more full than the other...

I'm guessing there was a time before me that paper was made differently, and it could mess up a septic system, so the practice stuck around. Either that, or some people are just stupid. I've only heard of binning paper from hillbillies. Real hillbillies, not the suburban, Camaro driving second cousins. Even they know to put paper in the toilet :^D

We use to have a tenant that wiped and put it in the garbage. Eww...

In the toilet with the rest of the shit. It's toilet paper, ever get the stuff wet? It just breaks down. On the other hand, ever have a big ball that managed to develop super strength and become unbreakable (I've clogged toilets this way)?

Tree leave are much more environmental friendly.

Kind of sucks when they're designed such that it becomes an accidental bidet, which can end up using water of "questionable" quality.

We used to have the crappy ones that sucked at flushing, but this guy downstairs was always sending emails complaining about water leaking through his ceiling from the overflowing clogged toilets. So they installed these new super toilets that you could flush a beach towel down. It sounds like space shuttle launch when you flush them but they never clog.

In Colombia we used to put toilet paper in the garbage can.

BTW, it doesn't really produce any noticeable smell, unless you stick your nose in the garbage can, in the same way your kitchen doesn't smell like garbage even though there is a garbage can right there.

I let the dog eat it.

Depends on the type of can. The can in my kitchen is almost air tight, and that's why it doesn't smell. When the lid is open, I almost die.

You usually put it in the trash on boats, as their marine toilets can't handle toilet paper, but doing so in your house is disgusting!

 

[Atomic Playboy]

Toilet paper goes the same place shit goes; the trashcan.

What on earth are you putting in your kitchen garbage? Nothing I can think of smells that bad in the kitchen.

Do you not empty your garbage once a week like a civilized human being?

 

[Numenorean]

I was raised to put used toilet paper in the toilet, but recently I've come to understand that it is acceptable to put it in the garbage can instead. Supposedly this results in less wear-and-tear on plumbing.

What do you do, ATOT?

Recently you've come to understand WRONG!

Usually septic systems will have you place paper in a garbage basket, since it doesn't degrade in a septic tank and can lead to clogs and all sorts of problems. There are several toilet papers available that are designed to be septic safe. If using a city sewer system, then it is no problem to flush toilet paper.

Who gave you this line of BS? I have a septic system and not once has a maintenance guy or septic company told me not to put toilet paper into the system.

Or maybe the house has smelled like shit for so long you don't even notice it anymore!
